Backstory

Yacov's story properly begins long before his birth when his great-grandmother, an empath by the name of Kupatholim, a native of Hibarnhvidar who had been living in Hvaral during the war between Kwarlog and Therengia. Bereft of husband, sons and daughters lost in that war, she emigrated south to the settlement of Stone Clan, where she remarried and gave birth to Rayfuah, who also became an Empath. Rayfuah was married and gave birth to Kadosha and Dwindella.
Dwindella, a Monk of the Crystal Hand, married Sapkarl, a G'nar Pethian Moonmage. Together they had a son and a daughter, Yacov, and his younger sister Fredrickka, a Barbarian.

Yacov enjoys ale, and began being known for coming up with original drinking songs, for his entertaining talent was exhibited in many taverns.It was suggested by his family that his future lay in the Bard guild, and as both his parents had a particular talent for prediction, both being Moon Mages, he was glad to comply. Although not particularly known to be fond of Elves as a rule, he was welcomed by Silvyrfrost to become her student.
While still a newcomer to the guild, and while having a drink at the nearby Viper's Inn, he was once captured, blindfolded, and held captive by someone who was possibly either an Elf or a Dragonpriest, he is uncertain. There he was made to perform lullabies for his or her amusement, and was struck down when he could not perform them well enough to sooth his capturer.
His death though bought him his freedom for he was able to depart to the Temple with all of his belongings. He never did find out who had captured him.For that reason he is reluctant to drink at the Viper's Inn, or sing lullabies.

Yacov owns a home built into the mountains in the Abandoned Clan beyond Sorrow's Reach.
Yacov enjoys learning the history of many areas, particularly the land of his ancestors in Hibarnhvidar, and writing down the tales, and learning the songs of his heritage.
